With the amount of pre-production we did before the shooting came around we had high hopes that this would be a successful shoot. To an extent this was true, we used the material created in the pre-production stages as a guideline I had prior knowledge of what we were aiming for and we all pulled our weight throughout the two days. However there were things that went wrong when shooting that didn't help with the overall rushes. For example the kino lighting that we booked out was dodgy and when we came to setting it up on the Saturday the fuse blew and we weren't able to use it for the rest of the shoot. This held us back a little however we used the dedo lighting as a substitute and were still able to get good lighting that showed in the overall rushes.
The weather was not very positive throughout the shooting and as you will see in the final product we had to film the bridge scene when it was pouring with rain. It literally didn't stop throughout the whole of this scene and created both positive and negative things about our shoot. The negative things was the length of time it took to set up shots and record as we had to be extra carful with everything. Also the whole group was freezing and got completely soaked so this didn't help with the moral of the last piece of recording, this lead to some shots being over-exposed or the framing being slightly out, little things that could have been avoided. The positive side however was that because it didn't stop raining we were still able to get good continuity, also the rain helped to futher exaggerate the emotion that James displayes within this scene and what I wanted the audience to understand. Overall the rain was a blessing in disguise as it gave us the right atmospheric mood for the final scene of our piece.
Overall I think the shooting went very well, I think this helped by careful planning and organisation as it allowed us to be ready for anything that came our way.
